Year of Yosemite (YOY) – Day 44 (Rocks Along the Mirror Lake Trail)

rocky part of the trail to Mirror LakeThe Yosemite Park trails are maintained, but there are rough spots

Many of the trails at Yosemite lead hikers through a variety of ecosystems, i.e. wooded, meadow, open, etc. Generally the trails are quite passable, but one needs to look where they are going as there are sections that crop up now and again with large embedded rocks that seem to grab at the toes of hiking shoes.

The picture above is one bend in the trail to Mirror Lake that is indicative of this type of terrain. Footing can be tricky so hikers are advised to step cautiously.
